[PATCH 7/7] fuse: support caching negative dentries

[Miklos Szeredi]

Add support for caching negative dentries.

Up till now, ->d_revalidate() always forced a new lookup on these.
Now let the lookup method return a zero node ID (not used for anything
else) meaning a negative entry, but with a positive cache timeout.
The old way of signaling negative entry (replying ENOENT) still works.

Userspace should check the ABI minor version to see whether sending a
zero ID is allowed by the kernel or not.
